USO Tour Information at a Glance

Q: I am an entertainer who wishes to participate in USO shows. How do I apply?

 

A: We take pride in our ability to deliver some of America’s most popular and well-known celebrities around the world to the troops. USO tours can vary from a one-off to a complete tour with multiple destinations. The USO can also work with artists who may have available dates within their existing tours. USO celebrity status is not necessarily defined by experience of level of professionalism, but rather as a performer that has name recognition with the military members and families for who, they perform or visit. We also qualify celebrity status based on coverage in entertainment trade magazines like Billboard and Variety and as those seen on MTV, BET, CMT, etc. If you feel that you or the artist you represent meets these criteria, we look forward to discussing the possibility of a USO tour. Please send your press kit via e-mail to the Entertainment/Recruiting Assistant or materials can be mailed to:

We encourage you to contact Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE). AFE is the single point of contact in the Department of Defense, for professional non-celebrity entertainment supporting our service members overseas. You can find more information about AFE on their Web site, or contact their offices at 1-800-458-0868.

Hollywood Energy Drinks Campaign

Hollywood Energy Drinks Campaign

 

Many start old and new are siding with Red Bull and Monster Energy Drinks.  Artists are filming videos, making jingles and full songs that mention one of the products.  It is anticipate monster red as being a major drink promoted by Stackz 2020.  Many artist such as P. Diddy, Janet Jackson, Lil Wayne, Alicia keys, Beyonce, Jay Z then you have people like Chris Brown, Usher, Jermaine Dupri, the Time Band who is currently performing at the Flamingo in Vegas.

 

This is booked as being the event of the summer, with all types of giveaways and prizes and free energy drinks.  This campaign is a tie in with Live Nation, as Live realized energy drinks wakes up a crown and alcohol pit them to sleep.

NaQuila Likes Monster Red

NaQuila Likes Monster Red

 

With Energy drinks on the surge as many youths use it as an aphrodisiac (Intensifies sexual desires) and as we know in the music industry sex sells.  There is a big campaign between Red Bull and Monster Energy Drinks to start a huge rivalry in a limit partnership. 

 

Red Bull and Monster Energy Drinks are siding up with many Pop artists in a huge campaign to make Red Bull and Monster in the energy drinks market what Coke and Pepsi is in the soft drinks market.  .

 

We are hoping to get sponsorship from Monster, because it is our choice of energy drinks.  Monster is basically the same thing as Red Bull meaning it works the same, however Monster give you double the bang for your buck.  They are both equally quality drinks and the goal is to make consumers choose between the two as they corner the market with hop Hip Hop Commercials on stations like MTV, BET, VH1 and Nationwide Radio Airplay  that caters to the consumer group targeted by this campaign.

Exploiting Empty Shells

Exploiting Empty Shells

 

The reason why people like Janet Jackson and Prince, the Time Band and even perhaps Michael Jackson are having a hard time finding a major label contract is not the lack of talent or a genuine fan base, but because  the industry wants empty brains with a good voice, they do want to do business with artist that know the business, they want to exploit dumb kids and not veteran artist who will demand their fair share.  Take the industry’s big night!

 

There was time when celebrity status meant something it meant a real fan base.  There was a time when the Grammy’s meant a fashion statement of the true Hollywood and stars.  Now it is a bunch of one night wonders, urban artist being true to the game in jeans hanging off of their ass and Beverly Hillbillies rich looking penniless, not to forget Rock Stars looking like it is just another day out at the shopping Mall.  They took the reward out of awards, which was one night of fantasy.  Is it because of the lack of sponsorship?

 

The record industry is not what it used to be, the piracy industry is a major factor in the poor sales as the business is becoming lackluster.  The true culprit is the RIAA, mentioned in another article so we do not have to go there again.   But the bottom line applies here as it applies in America in a whole, we have to manufacture our own goods once again and stop outsourcing everything that requires labor.  The American worker is the best consumer of American products

 

Non Profit Record Company & Distribution System

Non Profit Record Company & Distribution System

 

 

#1: Name of CD:  The Extortion Album which consist of 3 albums in Wave format and 4^th album with all three albums and bonus material in MP-3 and iPod format, which will support PC of Apple.   That is just the start.  You have X-Convicted Felons with big dogs on the hot corners in the hood saying “This is extortion buy it or else, the extortion album 3 CD and CD-MP-3 iPod compilation albums, just $10.”

 

#2: Copyright all the material on all three albums, with the Library of Congress.

 

#3: Make all writers members of ASCAP, for a one time fee of $25.

 

#4: Incorporate the Record Company as a non profit organization.  Meaning we have to spend all our money by the end of the fiscal year, there will be no multi-million salaries.  Yes the artist gets paid for their musical works and we can set a salary as officers in the corporation.  Make it a policy to hire certain percentage of convicted felons.  We are talking about a Recording Co-Op Marketing Plan

Business and employment co-operative

3.6 Business and employment co-operative

 

The Mission statement has to do with music and helping artist through promotional and giving them recording opportunities, by building recordings studios around the country in mainly Urban Areas. Giving unsigned independent artist recording opportunities

 

#5: The Underground Distribution Network:  Put out CD’s using duplicators, setup strategically around the country at major cities.  They will be like the Avon Lady they will get a Business associate ID and sell CD’s to family and neighbors.  There will be an accounting system put in place, but being it is a non profit organization it is not just about record sales but putting out a message, so piracy can work to our advantage in some cases, because we are talking about making music as a social action.

 

#6: Packaging: I just bought 10 packs of 10 quads DVD/CD Cases by TDK they cost $3.99 per 10 packs and hold 4 CD’s per case.  How much will it cost wholesale is the question, but $0.39 per 4 CD compilation case is cheap packaging.  Plus 50 DCD storage inserts go for about$17 after taxes or $34 per 100 which equal $034 per insert retail, with ink from printer we are talking less than $1.00 per packaging with a professional look.

 

#7: The Beauty: I was told that we to copyright protect the products, I said no because it is a non profit organization and sometimes piracy could be good if it gets the word out about a cause.  Now here is a secret I will not write about concerning the grand architecture or great design.  First of all piracy organizations are our best distributors. Why?

 

#8: Accounting system emplacement: Depending on the artist and their demand, we predetermine how many burning licenses we authorize.  An example is we say Janet Jackson’s next album will sell 2 Million copies.  We go to the Underground Distribution Network, who are now the piracy organizations and say you can burn 2 million copies of this CD and sell them for $5.00 each and we want say $1.25 per CD, make it $1.00 to keep it simple, they pay 2 million dollars and burn as many as they want up to 2 million but this will not stop them from burning more.  However here is the catch 22, by accepting these contracts in smaller bulks in different areas around the country say 20,000 here and 100,000 there up to 2 million total they become a legitimate operation and have needs for their equipment and now they have to be caught red handed for there equipment to be confiscated.  Furthermore by making these contracts they actually can justify their income by paying taxes on the profits made. Make sense?

 

Prince New Release Lotusflow3r Receiving little Airplay

Prince New Release Lotusflow3r Receiving little Airplay

 

Prince put out a double solo album plus an album by Bria Valente which is co-written and co-produced by Prince.  I have not heard one song off of the album over the radio yet and Prince deserves more respect than that.  Prince as an Independent Artist plans to release 4 albums this year and two of them are out now.

 

Maybe he should have listened to me and considered the Underground Distribution Network or something other than an exclusive deal with Targets for all three albums for $11.98.  When I get around to going to Targets I will probably pick up the CD because Prince is always good for a few funky tunes, with two albums hopefully double the funk.

 

I am sure that Janet Jackson and the Time Band is watching Prince closely, as they may go Independent as well.  But Janet should be alright if she does as she plans to do and tour along with the album, use Ticket-Master as an outlet for album sales and be more creative in the distribution aspects.  Personally I hope the best for Prince.

 

 

We have to give Black Entertainment its share

We have to give Black Entertainment its share

 

Did Janet Jackson get paid properly for her tour?  Is this the real reason for its abrupt ending?  For that matter do black entertainers get paid properly for their concert tours in general?  I just want to assure black entertainers that all is not as it seems and you have a greater interest in things you have not idea about.  A lot of the new money is not the Illuminati as the old money sold them short.  You give certain people more credit than they deserve.  A lot of the new corporations and monsters of entertainment is not the old money (Wall Street as you know them).  There is a new corporate America on the verge of a hostile takeover.  It is simple your lack of faith that you cannot see what is happening.  You have been heard Stephanie Mills, and you only confirmed my suspicions, you are right in you have nothing to worry about.  But the power that is to be is not as white as you may think.  Have faith.

 

The Answer to the Message of the Day:

 

We will see.  The main idea behind my economic agenda is to bring money back into the system as I give politicians especially the president of the United States plausible denial.  The bottom line is the money is out of the system because the foolish big corporate America tried to sell us out.  But they sold themselves to us and now what I do not like is we seem to be giving it back to them too much without enough strings attached.

 

As I said, the big corporate America has been policing them but we were a step ahead of them and we policed the police.  The bottom line as stated in the Economic Crisis a letter to the Illuminati, we have the money and it will never be found unless certain conditions are met.  Right now they are simply creating more debts to move the economy, but unless money is returned to the system the economy will never be recovered.  I told you’ll what is necessary and feel it is not necessary to repeat myself.

 

Oh by the way, my policy for banking is not to lend $30 for every $1 in the bank, but to lend $1 to every $10 deposited in the bank and based on this policy my settlement of $1 Trillion dollars, will become the lending power of $10 Trillion dollars to help build a better economy.

 

A Mercury-Uranus conjunction on your birthday will do wonders for your ability to see beneath the surface of things. You will know without knowing why you know when others are telling the truth, and when they are lying. You can’t lose with a talent like that.

 

This will be a good week for meeting people and making deals, even more so when Mercury, planet of communication, leaves your sign and moves into the main financial area of your chart on Wednesday. You’ll find the right words to sell your big idea.

 

The RIAA an Impediment to the Recording Industry

The RIAA an Impediment to the Recording Industry

 

RIAA is an acronym for the Recording Industry Association of America, who are a group of people who basically make the calls as to how the music industry is regulated in the United States of America.  Their main interest is the major labels who are also the main record distributors, as they do represent over one and a half thousand labels but their interest is in preserving the influence of the 4 major labels which are EMI, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group.  They are powerful, but like America they are in a recession and desperately have to make major changes before they suffocate in their own vomit.

 

Can they afford to stand by their positions concerning SACD copyrights that will require three copyrights to a single SACD and can they continue to claim that recording MP-3’s from legally purchased CD’s are illegal, however this assertion is yet to be proven in the court of law.  This one shoe fits all mentality is destroying the recording industry.  I mean it is one thing to protect the rights to intellectual property as stated in the first amendment which is beyond the scope of my examination.

 

To keep is simple I think the application of a one shoe fits all mentality in such a vast form of trade is impractical.  It is like a hand full of people with a lot of money is telling everyone how to conduct the business of music to protect their interests. Take Janet Jackson, Prince, LL Cool J, Whitney Houston and the many old school artist like the Ohio Players, the Gap Band, Earth Wind and Fire as well as many young artists too many to name, they have the power to blackball without notice and then regulate their activities as an independent artist, meaning even independent artists are not independent of the iron hand of the RIAA, which is the CIA & FBI combined of the music industry.  With their far reaching hands they have the ability to destroy the lives of any hard working artist who does not play by their rules.

 

Meaning if they say pose nude you take off your clothes, if they say use the (N) word or the (B) word every other sentence you do so.  You heard me use the term Gay Mob; they are nothing but hands to these people.  Unfortunately technology was screwed those 12 inches over and brought them to their knees.  And if they do not change their ways they will lose it all very soon.  They can no longer have their cake and eat it also.

 

I found this information posted and it is a contradiction to the positions they are taking.

 

In the US Supreme Court, the record company lawyers said:

“The record companies, my clients, have said, for some time now, and it’s been on their Website for some time now, that it’s perfectly lawful to take a CD that you’ve purchased, upload it onto your computer, put it onto your iPod. There is a very, very significant lawful commercial use for that device, going forward.”

But it is illegal, therefore hybrids with MP-3’s embedded is illegal.  The issue is not about copyrights as in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. 545 U.S. 913 (2005) the issue is to disallow the little man from making a living to protect their own self interest.  And the sinking ships are taking everyone with them out of greed.  It is time for an Underground Distribution Network and the issue is survival.

 

 

Taking Independent Labels to a new level

Taking Independent Labels to a new level

 

Usually the music album for an independent artist is a promotional tool and the product is the things it is used to promote such as a tours, gaining advertisement endorsements, getting the music on the airwaves and video games and commercials, because of the weak distribution of independent distributors as secondary clients to the record stores, the shelf space is regulated and therefore the sales expectations are lowered.  Janet Jackson, Prince and the Time Band as well as numerous artist who are independent now and unsigned artist like LL Cool J has to look for another ways to get their music to the consumers,

 

Now we have Live Nation who has joined with Ticket-Master, who is the number one concert promoter and the US and beyond, which should mean instant record sales tied to the sales of concert tickets through ticket master, then there is the idea of taking record sales to the streets in door to door fashion like Avon personalizing the music buying cliental.  The Underground Distribution Movement is a very serious consideration.  Yes certain logistical considerations have to be taken into account for sales accountability for tax reasons and chart positioning.

 

Why would a black market network be interested in a legitimate CD distribution operation that would raise the prices of the product to about $5 per CD?  Which is a far price because the packaging standards will be higher and similar to what you find in stores?  It should cost us about $1 per CD to record the album, and package it and distribute it, based on a certain amount of sales to create a breakeven point.  Our main costs will be in recording album with quality in mind.  That leaves $4 to split between the music production and record company in Janet’s case Black Doll and Flyte Tyme and the distribution network per CD.  A far split in such a case would be $1.5 to the record company and $2.5 to distribution and $1 to product development for and distribution, in getting the product to the consumer.  Out of the $1.5 one dollar goes to the artist and $0.50 to the production of the album personal, such as producers and engineers and so forth such as studio time.  In Janet’s case 2 million sales puts $2 million in Janet’s pockets from record sales alone a million to Flyte Tyme Productions a million to production and distribution costs of $2 million and $5 million split to the distributor down to the sales person.  Now this is just Janet’s CD. 

 

Now everyone will not sale like Janet, but the idea is that these sales persons will have diverse products and a long list of artist.  Is that a good enough reason to become legitimate?  I will take this a step further, I think inspirational and gospel music should be sold at the level of the Churches and delivered by the same distributors bring spiritual music to the steps of the churches supporting ministries and getting directly to the right cliental. Forget-a-but store shelf space, we can do this.  We are talking about 1,000s of jobs nationwide as well as numerous outlets.

 

 

Message of the day:

It does not matter if you are young or old, rich or poor, powerful or weak, you CAN reach your goals and you CAN make a difference in the world at large. Your birthday chart is brimming with inspiration – all it needs from you is a bit of perspiration.

 

If the more you try to figure something out the further away from the truth it seems to take you then, obviously, you are trying too hard. Sometimes the best way to get at the truth is to let it come to you. If you strive less you’ll learn more today.
